The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office is seeking the identity of the person pictured in a fraud investigation. On Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2021, the victim received a phone call from someone claiming to be an attorney who advised the victim that a grandson had been in a car accident in another state. The suspect then convinced the victim to withdraw a large amount of cash to give to the fraudulent victim of the car accident. The man, claiming to be named "Jason," came to the victim's home and obtained the money.

The suspect is described as speaking broken English with a Hispanic accent, who wore a dark jacket with patches on it. The suspect appeared to have facial hair under the surgical mask he was wearing. The suspect left the area in a newer Camaro.

I bet there is a Biden/Harris bumper sticker on the victims car.

I can’t fathom how people fall for these things.

Thank goodness Mommy Dearest has a built-in detection system for bullshit. These people prey on the elderly and infirm. They should be tarred and feathered when caught.
